LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1839. We see by the votea of the House of Commons that the Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill has been postponed till Friday, which will enable the Members to inquire into a subject which at present, we believe, they do not un derstand. Our opinion has its source in charity towards them, for' we cannot for one moment suppose that they would sanction the present system of bounties, if they were aware of its consequences. ;Their intention, which is just, is to give the sugar-refiners a drawback pro portionable to the duty levied on the sugar manufactured, but by one of those disgraceful my stifications which go by the name of finance, their intention is pervertel into giving a bounty on exporting refined sugar, which no person has estimated at less than ten shillings per cwt. The result has all the evil consequences which political economists have long proved to be inherent in all bounties, such as diverting industry and capital from more to less productive employments, besides many evil consequences of its own. It substitutes competition amongst buyers for competition amongst sellers, and in consequence raises the price of all the sugar consumed here more than the extent of the bounty. By exorbitantly raising the price it drives the people to consume an article which is proved to contain, on an average at 'cast, one fifth of dirt and poison. The just intention of the Legisla ture has, in fact, been converted by fraud and cupidity into a means of injuring the public health, and of levying a large tax on the consmmunity. The average difference of price between West India sugars in our market and sugar of equal goodness in the neighbouring continental markets, is estimated in the pamphlet to which we have more than once referred, at 15s. per cwt. The import of sugar from our West India Colonies in 1835 was 204,109 tons, which gives a sum of 3,061,6351. annually extracted from our pockets by the bounty in the shape of an increased price on sugar. But for the bounty, the argument is, that sugar would fall in price here to the price of sugar on the Continent of Europe, notwithstand ing the monopoly, because our colonies produce more than is sufficient for our own market, and the price of the sur plus to be sold in the Continental markets would deter mine the price of all the sugar consumed here. It would be reduced to the price of Foreign sugar at Amsterdam and Hamburgh. But for the bounty therefore we should pay 15s. per cwt. on the average less than at present for our sugar, or a tax would be remitted by the House of Commons assenting to Mr. CLAY'S motion of 3,061,6351., while the revenue, without looking to the increased con sumption, would save 255,000/. per year. The Members of the House of Commons, whether they represent the suffering agricultural labourers, or our over-worked and under-fed weavers, all of whom consume a great deal of sugar, will not do justice to them, if they do not on Friday support Mr. CLAY'S motion to make the drawback exactly equal to the duty, and so extinguish the bounty. It will be seen by our Parliamentary report that Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD has withdrawn the Copyright Bill. No other course, in fact, was left to the Learned Gentle man, as it would have been quite impossible to get it through Parliament at this advanced period of the Ses sion, while so much important business is pressing upon the attention of the Legislature. The Learned Sergeant stated that he had made such alterations in the measure as had disarmed the hostility of the principal publishers to it. What these alterations are we know not, as we have not seen the Bill in its amended form ; but we are inclined to doubt whether, as they have met the approbation of the booksellers, they will be entitled to be considered as im provements. Mr. H UNIE is still implacable in his hatred of the Bill, and is determined to oppose it when it is brought forward next Session. Wearied and disgusted as the public must feel with the repeated, but hitherto futile attempts of the Saints to interfere with the popular observance of the Sabbath, it cannot but prove satisfactory to every honest man to find in the debate in the House of Commons last night a complete justification of his abhorrence of such inter- with the conscience of the community. An At, moved by Mr. JEavis, on the first clause of Day Bill, re-committed last night on the Er. PLIJIIPTRE, served to tear the hypocritical Ithe countenance s of the Parliamentary he Honourable Memb,-!r proposed that after shall do any manner of work," the words " or done" should be inserted, in order that the Bill might equally affect both rich and poor. In an instant Saint PLUMPTRE was on his legs to oppose the amendment. His conscience took the alarm the instant it was proposed to extend the operation of the Bill to those who never work but by the hands of menials and domestics. The Honourable Gentleman is so much of a casuist as to discover a great difference between working oneself and compelling a servant to work. It is the hand, and not the will and power to cause it to be obeyed, that, according to the modern Pha risaical interpretation of the Commandment, sins against the sanctity of the Sabbath I Mr. PLUMPTRE was sup ported in his opposition to Mr. JERVIS'S amendment for compelling the rich to observe the Sabbath equally with the poor by Mr. GOULBURN, Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, Sir H. VERNEY, and Mr. KEMBLE ; and opposed by Mr. SANFORD, the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. VERNON SMITH, Mr. VILLIERS, Mr. HAWES, Lord DUNGAN NON, Mr. P. HOWARD, and Mr. LANGDALE. What will the country think of the sanctimonious preten sions of Parliament, when it reflects upon the fact, that upon a division of 168 Members, a majority of 50 were found to exonerate the rich from all penalties at tached to the crime of breaking the Sabbath ? In vain was it urged that the poor might be compelled to break the Sabbath by their masters and employers, and therefore—if the breach were to be made penal—common sense and com mon justice pointed out that in all such cases the masters and employers should be held responsible. When Mr. JERVIS, in denouncing the Bill as one-sided, pointed to the Sabbath-gambling in the Clubs, as proved by a recent disgraceful trial in the Court of Queen's Bench, Sir T. FREMANTLE got up and applauded the prudence of his pious friend in including in his Bill only vulgar iniquities ! Parliament had never recognized clubs, and therefore he maintained that the sins com mitted in them were not proper subjects for the cog nizance of the Legislature. What an accommodating, Aristocratic conscience must not this Gentleman be blessed with ! As there is no mention of club-houses, either in the Act of Charles 11. or the Decalogue, the Hon. Baronet very composedly concludes that their name is not entered in Heaven's Chancery, and therefore, that no ac count shculd be taken of the Sabbath debaucheries weekly committed in them. Talk of the religion of the Par liament of Great Britain in the nineteenth century after this! Should this Bill pass, we tell its framers and supporters, that it will lead to a reaction in the public mind more injurious to the moral feeling of this country than all the pernicious laws enacted during the last quarter of a century. Having exposed the rottenness of their own morality, they need not flatter themselves that the people will pay the least regard to the measure with which they are seeking to insult them. On the contrary, from very exasperation, thousands who never before were guilty of the least breach of the Sabbath, will unite with the least scrupulous in trampling upon a Bill which singles out for insult and oppression the industrious poor. Mark, too, the effect which its enforcement would have in Ireland, where from the poverty of the people public meetings can only be held in the agricultural dis tricts on the Sabbath. In the hands of an Orange Ma gistracy- it would be made to interfere with the performance of divine worship, under the plea of preventing. such public meetings ; and thus it would lead to breaches of the peace, deprivation of the liberty of the subject, and eventually to conflicts between the constabulary and the people, at tended with loss of life. We therefore call upon the Go vernment to exert its just influence in throwing out this mischievous Bill. Leave the people to follow the dictates of their ses oral creeds and consciences in the observance of the Sabbath ; or it' there is to be restriction, impose it on those who are too wealthy and too indolent to toil daily for their daily bread. The opposition made by the University of Oxford to the Great Western and Oxford Railway Bill tends to raise the undertaking very much in our estimation. As a body that Institution is at least a century behind the age. What other persons call reform and improvement it designates innovation and revolution ; it would have granted no re lief to Dissmter3 or Catholics—it would retain all the bigoted prejudices and enforce all the antiquated ,statutes of former times—and but for the conellia.t lug policy of its protectors, 'WELLINGTON and PEEL, on whom it heaped every abuse, it would by its opposition to every species of reform, have created that very revolution of which it stands so much in dread. Facility in travelling (and frequent intercourse with the rest of mankind tends to destroy prejudices)—steam-boats and railways are every day removing some barrier to im provement, to international intercourse, and to the amal gamation of the different states of Europe and America ; and it is not too much to say, that the steam-engine, more than any other discovery yet made, is destined to be one of the great means of civilising the world—creating mutual sympathies and mutual wants—the greatest of all securities against the effects of ignorance, and the calami ties of war. Oxford, true to its character, will have none of these improvements. It dreads contact, as if all other places were impure, and the precincts of the venerable University furnished the only abode of virtue, and the only school for moral and religious knowledge. The public have not thought so. The system of education pursued there has been condemned by many brought up under the wings of the University. Many parents send their sons to Oxford and Cambridge to get degrees in the shortest time possible, and not a few prefer sending them to inferior places when they can acquire moral and useful education without degrees. The more the place is thrown open to the public, the sooner will its great de fects become known. Facility of intercourse would throw light upon the monkish habits at the University, and soon lead to what the public desire, and the old bigotted party dread—a radical change. The amount of tax levied on the community by the Church is undoubtedly not ascertained. In none of the estimates made in Parliament are the church-rates, fees, and sundry parochial taxes included. It is in one respect like light, generally seen but very difficult to measure. To the disgrace of some of the new Corporations, that of Ox ford for example, they have, under the influence of the Clergy, voted considerable sums for beautifying and adorning the Church. Certain Aldermen of the Cor poration of Oxford, because they thought proper to go to Church in state, also thought proper to make the people pay for their splendour. Ten pounds were annually voted for singing boys—what would the Standard say if it were for singing women ?—fifteen for repairing the organ, and other sums for lighting and warming the Church, wash ing the surplices, &c., altogether 501. This was done in defiance of the 92d clause of the Municipal Act, which high Church Aldermen can repeal or suspend, as easily as dispense, where the Church is concerned, with the obliga tions of morality. It was only natural that the members of the Corporation who do not go to the Aldermen's Church should resist such a violation of propriety as this vote; and as its illegality could not be disputed, the high Church Council voted a salary to the Mayor, coupling it with the condition that out of the sum so voted, a proportion of the expences of the Aldermen's Church should be paid to the Churchwardens of St. Martin's parish. To take 501. of the Corporation funds, or any other sum for the gratification of the four or five Aldermen who attend a Church, is a monstrous perversion of the prin ciples on which the Corporations were reformed, and such doings will speedily make the reformed Town Coun cils as disreputable as were the old nests of self-elected jobbers. The Church is here again the leaven of corrup tion, and its advantage justifies Aldermen as well as Le gislators, in their own eyes, in doing wrong to their fellow citizens or the public. The poor Aldermen are in fact only the tools of some arrogant high Churchmen, who are determined to leave no means unexplored by which they can dip their hands into the pockets of the people. It is not enough that the public must pay all the exorbitant de mands of the Church—they must also submit to those de mands being made in the most arrogant manner. The pro ceedings at Oxford under their influence should make the inhabitants of our towns very cautious how they elect priest ridden men to represent them in the Town Councils. In another column will be found a list of the goods seized by the harpies of the Church, from certain of the parishioners of Bungay, who regard the voluntary payment of Church-rates as a sinful act. Alas! for the Church of England, when, notwithstanding the loud professions with which she proclaims her abhorrence of the evil courses of her old mother—the scarlet abomination—she copies her ex amp'e where it is least worthy of imitation, and walks in the worst(;.' her ways, as if she wore determined to prove her kindred by the vice, not the virtue, running in the blood. Persecution, for conscience' sake, was the foulest of all the stains upon the Church of Rome ; but experience has proved that if the sects that sprung out of the so-called Re formation had possessed the power of the Mother Church, they would have exercised it with as great, if not greater tyranny. They persecuted to the utmost extent that they dared to persecute, and even now—in this age which we deem enlightened par excellence—we find the spirit of per secution, though disarmed by the force of public opinion and the law of the greater part of its active venom, still showing tokens,'not to be mistaken, not only of vitality, but of its ancient malignity. Nor is it to one sect alone that the charge of persecution applies. It matters not what the doctrinal points may be by which the sect is distin guished ; once give it power—do but establish it in connec tion with the State, and you necessarily make it intolerant. The spirit of an Establishment is everywhere one and the same, and we can be at no loss to know it by its fruits, whether brought forth in the shape of pains and penalties, inflicted for non-payment of Church-rates in England, or of annuity tax in Scotland. New York journals from the 26th ult., to the evening of the 2d inst., inclusive, have been received this morning. They announce the arrival of the Earl of DURHAM, at Quebec, on the 20th ult. Great preparations were making for the suitable reception of his Excellency in the Ca nadas. We subjoin an official notice of the burning of the British steam-boat, the Sir Robert Peel, on the River St. Lawrence, about seven miles from French Creek, by a party of incendiaries, supposed to be Canadian re fugees, hitherto concealed in the United States, We trust that the authorities will do all in their power to discover the perpetrators of an act, the obvious intention of which is to provoke hostilities between England and the United States. A paragraph which we copy from Mackenzie's Gazette of the 2d instant, ascribes the destruction of the boat to accident, but the official cor respondence upon the subject proves this statement to be entirely unfounded. The boat was forcibly seized, carried into the American waters, and there burned. The monetary intelligence from the United States is ex ceedingly favourable. Stocks continue to rise, and specie is abundant. We have copied, from the New York Daily Whig of the Ist and 2d instant, the latest account of the state of affairs in Wall-street : BURNING THE SIR ROBERT PEEL BRITISH -STEAM BOAT. (From the Albany Argus of June 1.) FRO)! TILE NORTHERN FRONTIER. An express from Watertown reached the city yesterday afternoon, bringing despatches to Governor Marcy from the District Attorney, Marshal, &c., at that place, by which we regret to learn that a most ex traordinary outrage was committed within the American waters early on Thursday morning. The British steamboat Sir Robert P.:el, lying too about seven miles from French Creek, on the River St. Lawrence, was forcibly seized by a body of armed men, supposed to be Canadian refu gees, set on fire, and entirely consumed. The subjoi'ied extracts from the letters t 6 the Executive affords all the information yet rezeived touching this affair : FROM G. C.

M a X THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1838. W. L. MARCI- " Waterton, May 30, IS3S. " Dear Sir,—l have this moment received by express, from H. Davis, Esq., Custom-house officer, at French Creek, a letter, of which the fol_ lowing is a copy, and the information therein contained may be relied upm as correct : " Clayton, May 20 , " Sir—La,t night the British steamer Sir Robert Peel was hoarded near this place by about 50 armed men in disguise, the persons on board driven on shore, and the boat set on fire, and wholly consumed. You are requested to aid the proper authorities in the affair, or to advise the proper course to be taken.—Respectfully yours, " G. C. Sherman, Esq. " H. DAVIS." In addition to the above, the messenger informs me that, although no lives were lost as is yet known, the mate of the Sir Robert Peel was badly burnt on board the vessel. Our steamer Oneida, on her way to Ogdensburgh this morning, vo lunteered and took the crew on beard, and carried them to Kingston. The whole community here is excited and alarmed to the greatest ex tent at this unwarrantable outrage, and a retaliatory spirit, that has only slept upon the other side will, it is feared, be again excited, and to an extent beyond controul. The steamer, Sir Robert Peel, it is said, was taking in wood at Mullet Creek Bay, or at the narrows below, about seven miles from the Creek. I have this moment learned that Captain/Armstrong bad command of the Sir Robert Peel, against whom, it is said, the refugees had an old grudge. He resided in this village during the last winter, and was charged with being a spy upon their operations. I mention this cir cumstance as authorizing the belief that this act has proceeded from the Patriots, or refugees, on;this side. The present impression is, that we shall be unsafe on the frontier without an armed force; and immediate measures will be required to afford ample protection to British vessels in our waters, or all confidence and intercourse will be broken up. I have thought it advisable that General Cross, of the Militia, should call out one or two companies of dragoons to go to French Creek, whither I shall proceed with the sheriff this afternoon. No person to our knowledge was recognised as having been engaged in this outrage, but individuals residing at French Creek have been miss ing for several days. A portion of the Sir Robert, it is said, was owned by a citizen of Ogdensburg. The steamer Sir Robert Peel, in running a race with another steam. boat last week, on the St. Lawrence, between Brockville and Prescott, took fire, and was so much damaged that she was obliged to run into port, her passengers having been taken off by the other steamer.— Mackenzie's Gazette. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. (From the New York Journal of Commerce, of June 2 ) SPECIE CIRCULAR.—Be it remembered, that Mr. Webster's resolu tion repealing the Specie Circular, passed the Senate on Tuesday by a vote of 34 to 9, and on the following morning, within the space of about an hour, was read three times and passed the House by a vote of 134 to 29. These nuisances being now happily removed, the merchants, the banks, and all other pecuniary interests are restored to their former footing, save and except the derangement, and in many cases ruin, which has been brought upon them by the "experiment." And now, if the Government will let them alone—and we dare say it will, for the experiment has been scarcely less disastrous to the Government than to the people—the energies of the country will speedily revive, and trade and business resume their accustomed channels. (From the New York Daily WhCg.) THURSDAY, MAY 31.--The specie Circular is at last repealed, and the Executive prevented from promulgating for the future any such or der as far as the Senate is concerned. The signal vote of 34 to 9, and the dodging of Silas Wright, when the final question was taken, have inspired our dealers with fresh zeal. They breathe once more. One more exertion on the part of the House, and they will find themselves entirely unmuzzled. To day stocks rose from half to three per cent. United States resurrection notes, s o long derided by the Administration, were diffi cu l t t o procure a t 1 a per cent. discount. Holders now begin to see their way clear indeed, and they arc determined to avail themselves of their fortunate position. Ex change on England is rising rapidly. The largest house in Wall-street left off' at S per cent. about one o'clock. They found ready buyers at S fcr prime bills. On Paris the rate was current at sf. 25c. Our importers are waking up from their long sleep imposed upon them by the opiative medicines of the Jackson doctors. They, are preparing, and rightly too, to furnish their shelves against the coming season with the choicest assortment of goods. Every body is looking forward to the fall as the time to make up for past losses and to reap a golden harvest. The whole energies of New York are on the ascendent. Our last packet from London brings us the regular files of the Times for the last twenty days of April. In that venal print is found repeated attacks upon the credit of the United States Bank. What think you, American reader ? The Globe and the New York Evening Post are the authorities quoted by the Times as evidence of the insolvency of the United States Bank 1. The Rhode Island Banks have made their returns for April. Their circulation is 2,154,524 dollars against 474,278 dollars in specie. Their discounts are 124 millions, almost one half those made by our city insti tutions ! Did we use our resources and power as we ought to do, New York city would indeed be the land of milk and honey. FRIDIY, JUNE I.—Nicholas Biddle resumes cash payments to-Morrow morning, Saturday. Triumphantly has this distinguished financier sus tained the much abused doctrines of his letter of the 7th of April last. He has sustained them against the secret enmity of a clique that had hoped to have built itself up, upon his ruin. He has triumphed over bitter foes and Iscariot-like friends. He has carried out the principles of financial economy on which our past prosperity depended; he has proved to an oppressed people that there is but one polity in money matters, by pursuing which the country can hope to regain that point in its career from which it has been so rudely thrown down, and start afresh in the path of its glory. That polity is a convertible currency, and one money for the Government and the people. A grateful nation will one day acknowledge the inestimable services of Nicholas Biddle, in successfully resisting the usurping invader of our rights. We allude to the operations of the United States Bank in cotton. Had they not taken place, the Government would have triumphed, and fastened upon the necks of the people the sub-treasury system. The design originally was to break up all values, and force the property of the nation to change hands. _ The events of to-day will long be rembered in New york._ The re peal of the specie order, by a vote of 154 to 29, in the House of Repre. sentatives, was followed by a letter from the President of the United States Bank, announcing the determination of that institution to erect an establishment in Wall-street under our General Law. In our city article of the 16th of May, we held the following language relative to this business. " Nicholas Biddle, Esq. and other Philadelphia capita lists, have determined to associate themselves for the purpose of knking under the Gener a l B a nk Law, and to locate their office in W a ll -street. This will be done in less time than a month from this date.. The offi cial an n o e u f n t c h e e m ß e e n a, t r, o f ef t this a resolution o 1 u l t v i oen hearwas t received hat the today at an extra meeting affair will be con summated about the 20th instant. It is a m a tt er o f gratulation to e ver y New Yorker that our General Bank Law is s o soon about to be t es t e d by the ablest financier in the Union. Stocks to-day, as may be well imagined, mounted up t o a hi gh point. United States Bank shares closed at 121, and Delaware and Hudson at 811. Harlem jumped up five per cent. The whole amount of sales was over 6,300 shares, the heaviest day's work for some mouths past. Philadelphia funds were saleable at 1 to 11 per cent., but they could not be had from dealers in large sums for less than I per cent. discount. Some , days ago the E ven i ng Post stated that the old rags of the United States Bank were stinking in the nostrils of every person who valued his honesty. It was by such false hoods that the Administration hoped to have overturned au institution impregnable to the assaults of the partisan. Nay, they went further. Just before the late charter election, a purse was made up by certain locofoco leaders and interested personages to buy 1,000 shares, in order that they might throw the stock down. They succeeded in getting it to 108, by the help of a certain venal press, but before they were done they scorched their fingers so badly that they have not ceased blowing them to this day. Of a part with all these bad acts, are the attacks in London upon the credit of this institution. We hear that exchanges on the South improved this morning. The large amount of the old notes of the United States Bank in the South now, will be bought up and sent Northward as a remittance. So soon as the news of Mr. Biddle's re sumption shall have reached New Orleans we slit uld not be sun)! ised to see sight checks on New York down to 2 or 3 per cent.

The Pique frigate, for whose safety fears had been entertained, ar rived at Quebec on the 21st, after a passage of twenty-seven days from Halifax. She had on board 500,000 dollars for the military chest. We have a letter from Quebec which announces the arrival of the Rainbow sloop.of-war with another half million of dollars for the public service. If the officers of the guards and 71st are not to have fighting they are determined to have hunting, having brought out with them a pack of hounds and a number of fine horses. Lord LISNIORE will, we understand, be raised to the English Peerage at the Coronation. The crea tions are likely, we believe, to be very few—the pro motions in the Peerage will be more numerous. As the theatres are all to be thrown open to the people on that night, their enjoyment will be much better pro vided for than by the banquet at Westminster Hall, in which mil) a few could participate. Proper precautions will be taken to ensure easy access to the theatres. In the course of a day or two a notice will be given, that those who desire to visit them free on the night of the Coronation must apply at certain places for tickets ; and no more tickets will be issued than each theatre can conveniently hold persons. A precaution of this kind, if properly followed up, will prevent confusion, and enable the people really to enjoy the representations. It will also save the police an immense deal of trouble. A small pamphlet was lately published by MoxoN, under the somewhat quaint title of " Areopagitica Se cunda, or Speech of the Shade of JOHN MILTON, on Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD'S Copyright Extension Bill." The writer is a strenuous advocate for the rights of authors, and, if he does not advance any new arguments, brings some of the old ones to bear with considerable effect upon the opponents of the Bill. The following passage, which is all that our limits will allow us to quote, will give our readers a good idea of the author's manner :—" Literature, we believe, is intended to be the teacher of the public mind. It is its privilege to instruct, and it is also the pri vilege of the public to be instructed by it. But now the law reverses the order. It has corrupted your teachers ; and thus it wrongs you. It does all in its power to pro. duce this baneful effect—that literature may be swayed and influenced by the capricious fluctuations of the public taste ; and to prevent this other result—that the public taste may be studied and ruled by the solid support and guidance of literature. It has done all in its power to make literature the abject and fawning slave, instead of the wise and thoughtful master of the public." We regret that the author's exertions in this good cause will not lead to any practical result--at least for the present—the Copyright having been postponed till next Session. The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been received. Their contents are unimportant. The Army Regulation Bill passed the Chamber of Peers by a majority of 35. The following are extracts : On the sth inst., a powder magazine, situate within three quarters of a league from St. Gall, in Switzerland, blew up with a tremendotts noise, and occasioned the death of eleven individuals. A pebble, flung over the wall by a child, having struck against a nail of the roof, the sparks sct fire to the powder dust which covered it, and this produced the explosion. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 10th says : " The Carlist battalions which occupied the line of Zubire set out on the 11th for Estella. .

It is impossible, says the letter, to succeed better, and though one of the lowest titles in the month was expressly chosen to prove the success of the navigation, the Royal Adelaide entered St. Valery in the finest possible style ; the English Captain himself was surprised, and all the crew admired the facility with which the vessel moored in the bay. At four o'clock the populace of the town and neighbourhood was on foot, awaiting the arrival of the Royal Adelaide, which came in sight at half past five o'clock. An, important question is now decided, viz., whether a communication by steam-boats between St. Valery and Eng. land was practicable. All doubts are now dispelled and the unfavour able predictions on the subject are falsified. The passengers from London to St. Valery was made in 14 hours, of which two were passed at Margate to take in coals.-Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS.-PAnts, JUNE 145. Five per Cents., 110 f. OOc.

Their Lordships sat in a Committee of Privileges to-day. The Peers in attendance were the l e ord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Duke of Buceleugh, Lord Montford, the Earl of Aboyne (now Marquis of Huntley) Lord Vaux, and Lord Colville. TUE HUNTLEY PEERAGE. Their Lordships, under the advice of the Lord Chancellor, resolved that the Earl of Aboyne had made out his claim to the Marquisate of Huntley, but had failed to substantiate his right to the Earldom of Huntley. CAVAN PEERAGE. The Committee were of opinion, notwithstanding no patent could be discovered creating the Earldom of Cavan, that the present Earl had made out his claim to vote at the election of Representative Peers for Ireland. THE LISTOWILL PEERAGE, Sir HARRIS NICOLAS addressed their Lordships on behalf of the claim of the present Earl of Listowell to vote at the election of Repre sentative Peers fotalreland. Several witnesses were examined to prove the marriage and death of the late Earl and the title of the present; and the further consideration of the claim was adjourned to three o'clock to-morrow. CAMOYS PEERAGE. The further consideration of the claim of Mr. Strange Styleman to this peerage was proceeded with. Lord Charle3 Townshend, who was examined on behalf of the claimant, produced from Itainham.hall, in the county of Norfolk, an old pedigree book, the property of his late father, who was President of the Society of Antiquaries, by which it appeared that the fa. ro ily of Townshcnd became; joined with the Lewknors, through w h o m Mr. Strange Styleman claimed, in 1635, by the marriage of Mary Lewknor with the then Lord Townshend. Lord Charles said that by the directions of his father's will, the whole of his library and manuscripts were sold, but he had puremsed the book h i ques ti on t oget h er w i t h many others, which he considered valuable. Several other witnesses were examined, which The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, 011 behalf of Mr. Strange Styleman, stated concluded his case. Sir 'Limns Nrcor.ss, on behalf of Sir Jacob Astley, stated that he had no further evidence to offer on his behalf. Mr. TuEstoEit, who appeared for Madame de la Cainea, another claimant, stated that it was not his intention to offer any evidence on her behalf, as she intended to adopt the pedigree of her competitors; the only question, therefore, was, whether it would be necessary for her to print her case ? The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that the rule of tha House was impera lye that the cases in all claims must be printed. Lord Bitouou Am—She can make it as short as she pleases, by refer ig to the others. — Mr. FLEMING on behalf of Mr. Stoner, trusted their Lordships would consider how long he had been struggling for the title. Lord BRouGIIA 3I thought that Mr. Stoner had no right to complain. Mr. Hope Johnstone who claimed the title of Earl of Annandale, had been kept waiting for six years. The ATTORNEY GENERAL on behalf of the Crown, must claim some time to examine the enormous mass of eviLlence that had been given on behalf of the different claimants. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said by the rules of the House, fourteen days must expire from the time of laying the case of any claimant to a Peerage on the table before it could be taken into consideration. After some further conversation, Madame - de la Cainea was ordered to lry her case an the table of the House within a week, and the further consideration of the claims was adjourned sine die. Their Lordships proceeded to hear Scotch Appeals. THE COLLEGE OF GLASGOW v. TILE FACULTY OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS OF GLASGOW. The ATTORNEY..GENERAL was opening this appeal on behalf of the appellants, when our Reporter left. The case appears likely to oc cupy some days; we shall give the facts, when the case has been more gone into. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY. EMMOTT V. TILE LION. G. C. NORTON. Mr. V. Len having opened the pleadings, Mr. Serjeant Bomeas said, the present action was brought by respec table livery.stable keepers in Bond-street, to recover the sum of 1423. 10s., due for the hire of horses and carriages, used by Mrs. Norton, the wife of the defendant, while she was living with her uncle, Mr. C. B. Sheridan, between March, 1837, and January, 1838. The defendant did not deny his liability, as he had paid 731. into Court, as that was the case, he could not conceive what defence was to be set up, because he would have no difficulty in proving the hire and use of the articles, as well as the reasonableness of the charges The principle demand arose out of the hire of a carriage, horse, and harness, in which she drove out, and in which it would be proved that she had driven out her own children at the time they were living under his own roof—that was hired for six months at fifteen guiueas a month—the other charges as well as that would be proved to be the fair and reasonable charges. He could not conceive what the defence might be, but he would not, unless he were driven to it, enter into any extraneous matter. He would prove that the income ofthe defendant amounted 3,0001 a-year. Lord ABINGER—HOW can that have anything to do with the case ? Under the pleadings the only question was whether the husband had contracted or was liable for the contracts of the wife. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS was then called upon to show that the car riages were used with the knowledge and sanction of the defendant, who had seen Mrs. Norton at his own house in them, and his children were taken into them from that house. It would also be necessary for him to show that Mrs. Norton had been excluded for her husband's house, and that also with violence, and that she had not, up to the present moment, received one farthing of an allowance. That alone rendered him liable to all the debts contracted by the wife, so as to keep her in the station of life she had a right to occupy. He would prove these facts, and then he would confidently rely upon the Jury for a verdict for his clients. He then called William Heard, examined by Mr. V. LEE—Had been in the service of Mrs. Norton from March 1837 till June, as footboy. She then lived at 16, Green. street, and Mr. Norton at 10, Wilton-crescent, where he accompanied her three times. Mrs. Norton went in and sometimes stopped an hour. He had accompanied her to Lambeth-street Office, where Mr. Norton was. She went in and stopped about two hours, and he had carried about twelve letters from her to that places. He proved the having ordered the horses and carriages frequently from the plaintiff. . . _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. KELLT.—Mrs. Norton had sometimes a horse and fly from Shenstone's ; that was used when she went out to parties or the opera. Stephen Wareham had been coachman to Mrs. Norton for six months. Had often driven her to the house of Mr. Norton, and had seen him twice. Had taken out the children for a drive, and had again taken them home in the evening. Cross-examined—Mrs. Norton had a britscha from another person, and Mr. Sheridan had rode in the carriage once or twice. Witness did not know that Mrs. Norton had horses from any other than the plaintiff. The only times he had taken out the children were in June. The last time she went for them Mr. Norton violently shut the door. James Smith, a servant of the plaintiff's, proved the hiring of the various vehicles. Thomas Kenrick, John Cripps, and Henry Rymer, proved the reason ableness of the charges made by the plaintiff. Colonel Leicester Stanhope was acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Norton when they lived together. He kept a cab, and she occasionally hired carriages and horses for riding. Mr. Norton was a Magistrate, at 8001. a year. Did not know anything of his other property. Cross-examined—Did not know that Mr. Norton was obliged to lay down his cab in 1835 from the distressed state of his circumstances. Could not recollect him driving the cab since 1836, and had heard him say that he was in difficulties, but had not known much of him since March, 1836. Was still on visiting terms with Mrs. Norton, who had always lived with her uncle, C. Brinsley Sheridan. He believed the house they lived in was a joint concern. Parties were given, he sup posed by Mr. Sheridan, but he did not ask who gave the dinners. A written authority to the servant, to refuse admi►sion to Mre. Nor ton, or any of her family, was put in and read. A number of letters from Mr. to Mrs. Norton, during the negocia. Cons, were put in and read—they were written in affectionate terms. Mr. Joan Bailey, barrister, last November attempted to mediate be tween Mr. and Mrs. Norton, and it was no fault of Mrs. Norton or her friends that a reconciliation did not take place. He knew of no allow. ance then having been made. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. KELLY then submitted to his Lordship that he was entitled to a non suit, on the ground that no contract had been proved which was not fully covered by the 731. paid into Court. His LORDSHIP thought the case was a fit one for the decision of a Jury. Mr. KELLY then addressed the Jury. He would not follow his Learned Friend in the course he had been instructed to take, he would not break into any confidential or sacred matter. Let the Jury for a moment think who these letters were produced by. They were not produced by Mrs. Norton, or any Counsel acting for her, but by a livery stable-keeper. Into his hands were these confidential —nay sacred and confiding letters placed, for the purpose of working out a fz.vourite plan. Whatever sacrifices Mr. Norton was willing to make—whatever offers he made, he was on every hand met with a demand that he should part with his children, and give them into the hands of one of whom he would say no more than that Mr. Norton would have neglected his duty, and would have betrayed the trust reposed in him had he con sented to the proposal. It was found that he firmly resisted the proposal, and then it was determined that he should be ruined in his fortune and driven from his country, and that action was a link in the chain. The whole plan was to inforce him to do that which would enable Mrs. Norton to say, what she had not yet had the power of saying, that he had for a moment departed from that line of duty which was imposed upon him as a man of honour and of honesty. He contended that the only question for the jury to consider was, whether there was any contract binding upon Mr. Norton beyond the 731. he had paid into Court. That sum bad been so paid because, in the month of June, some negotiations were going on which it was hoped would have allowed the parties to live together, and then Mr. Norton allowed his children to go out with their mother, and he therefore considered that something was due for coach-hire, and he paid for the whole month of June. Again, he heard that Mrs. N. had been in ill health, and might necessarily want a drive into the country. He t4aarefore allowed for that, and paid 731., which was an ample allowance for the hire of carriages and horses for a lady living apart from her husband for ten months. Even had it been competent for her to have gone to the Ecclesiastical Court, even the very utmost aliment which that Court could have given, considering the income of Mr. Norton, would have been 3001. a year, would the Jury then say that it was reasonable that she should spend 1421. in less than ten months upon carriage hire. If so, where would she get money to keep her house or to clothe her. He trusted the Jury would consider the 73/. as sufficient, and not lend their countenance to the attempt now made to ruin the defendant. His Lot:usurp then summed up the evidence saying it was a question peculiarly for their decision. The Jury consulted for a few moments, and then begged leave to retire. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD-COURT. Michael Godwin was indicted for embezzling three sums, of 341., 61., and 31. l 55., the property of Messrs. Pickford, the well known carriers. It 'appeared from the statement of Mr. DOANE, who conducted the prosecution, that the prisoner was employed at a place in Northampton as the agent or clerk of the prosecutors ; that in this capacity he had to collect their accounts, and that it was his duty on receiving the money to put it down to his weekly accounts, or to send up the cash to London; that he received the sums in question from various parties, and neither transmitted the money nor placed it in his accounts. These facts having been proved, Mr. KEAN (who was for the defence) said it was impossible for him to struggle with this evidence. The jury found the prisoner Guilty; but with a recommendation to mercy, on the ground of previous good character. Mr. Sergeant ARA BIN said the Court was so far disposed to give effect to that recommendation that they could not sentence the prisoner, which they had the power of doing, to fourteen years transportation, but would reduce the term to seven years. On hearing the sentence, the prisoner became so overcome with emotion that he nearly fainted, and had to be carried from the bar; his little son (who was in court during the trial, burst into tears, and some females who were in the gallery (who appeared to be related to him) seemed convulsed with grief. The scene altogether was one of the most affecting we ever witnessed in a Court of Justice. About ten o'clock ➢lr. Justice LITTLEDALE took his seat on the Bench, and proceeded to try a case of burglary, which presented no public interest. NE IV COURT. 131GAMV.—Ebenezer Heynzer was indicted for feloniously marrying Sarah Heymer, his wife Elizabeth being alive. Mr. PRENDERGAST conducted the prosecution ; 111 r. CLARKSON de fended. The mother of the prisoner proved that in 1823 he brought home a woman as his wife, whom he called Elizabeth. Soon after the marriage she ran away, and it was reported she was (lead. In 1829, the pri soner married his preseral wife. Since that it had been found that the first wife was living with another man, and had several children by him. A Parish Clerk produced the registry, dated 1823, of the marriage of the prisoner *rid a woman named Elizabeth Hale. Sarah Heymer (the second wife) was then called. She deposed that she knew the prisoner to live with his father and mother, in 1823, and with a woman as his wife, whom he called Elizabeth Hale. Witness was married to prisoner's brother for six years, and had been seven years a widow when she married the prisoner. Witness then believed as it was commonly reported that the prisoner's first wife was dead. Prisoner gave her a paper purporting to be a register of her burial. Cross.examined by Mr. CLARKSON.—This prosecution was advised by Wood (the parish constable of Cripplegate). I was convicted of pot_ stealing in this Court about six months ago, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. I learnt about six years ago that the first wife was living. Mr. Ci.AiticsoN.—Did you ever ask, after that, the Prisoner's mother o let him live with you ? Witness.—No. Did you ever ask the prisoner afterwards to live with you ? Wit ness (after a long pause).—l can't recollect. Did you not within the last six months ask him to live with you ? Witness (after another lengthened pause). _yes. Did you not say, if he would not live with vu, yo u wou ld prosecute him for bigamy ? Witness.—No. Did you - mention bigamy to him ? Witness. —Yes. You gave him in charge ? Witness. —Yes. Re-examined by Mr. PRENDERG AST . — Withregard to the conviction for stealing the pots—where were you found with the pots ? Witness, — At the door of the public-house. Who gave you the pots ? Witness—A person to whom my husband introduced me gave me one, a man passing by another. COMMON-SERGEANT—Did I try the case? Witness—Yes. Commox-SERGEANT—This is rather a heavy imputation upon me. Pray did you mention all this at the trial ? Witness--No. The mother of the prisoner being recalled, swore that the witness, Sarah Hcymer, did ask her to desire the prisoner to live with her. The constable Wood deposed that the persons mentioned in the certi ficate of burial given by the prisoner to the second wife could not be found. Cross-examined—Cripplegat e is the parish to which Sarah Hey mer would be chargeable. Mr. CLARKSON made a most able speech for the defence, charac. teriziug the prosecution as one got up to relieve the parish of Cripple gate of the charge of maintaining Sarah Heymer ; and that the pri soner was much more " sinned against than sinning." T h e Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT then from his note book showed that Sarah Heymer's statement as to the matter of the pots was totally different from that which she had made at the trial. Mr. PauNnnanAsr — Undoubtedly the Jury have returned a most prop:sr verdict. MBEZZLEMENT.—J. Corbett Peek, charged with having embezzled upwards of 1,0001., the property of the Manchester Bank, was committed last Saturday to Liverpool, to take his trial at the Assizes. CORN AVERAGES.
